Altecnic 1 1/2 F Filter Ball Valve

The Altecnic 1 1/2 F Filter Ball Valve is a ball valve with an integral filter, used to isolate a section of pipework while capturing debris before it reaches downstream components. It forms part of the Altecnic ball valve range and is typically fitted on heating and boiler circuits where isolation and basic system protection are needed at the same point.

• Water weeping from the valve body, gland or spindle
• The handle turns stiffly, binds, or no longer moves the ball through its full travel
• Flow through the valve is restricted even when fully open, indicating a clogged or fouled filter
• The valve will not shut off fully, so the section cannot be isolated
• Visible corrosion or scale around the body or connections

• Confirm the pipework connection size and thread type match the 1 1/2 F connection on this valve
• Check that the existing valve is an Altecnic ball valve variant so the fitment matches
• Verify the valve position allows access for the handle and for filter cleaning or removal
• Check whether the installation needs an isolation valve alone or combined isolation and filtration at that point
